Quadratic and Hermitian Forms over Rings - Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften
Max-Albert Knus
From its birth (in Babylon?) till 1936 the theory of quadratic forms dealt almost exclusively with forms over the real field, the complex field or the ring of integers. Around 1960 the development of algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory led to the study of quadratic forms over commutative rings and hermitian forms over rings with involutions.
